Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Chrysanthepop Chan-wook Park's 'Ssa-i-bo-geu-ji-man-gwen-chan-a' (aka 'I'm a Cyborg but That's Okay') tells a funny and surreal tale of a young lady who believes she's a cyborg. The film takes place in a mental asylum where a patient falls in love with the 'cyborg'. From the very beginning, Park and his actors engage the viewer and involve you into their imaginary, eccentric and amusingly comical world. With some impressive visuals, a stupendous score and wonderful performances by Su-jeong Lim who is supported well by Rain, there's something magical about 'Ssa-i-bo-geu-ji-man-gwen-chan-a'. The camera-work is amazing and the visuals are stunning. Who would have thought that a mental hospital could feel so enchanting? 'Ssa-i-bo-geu-ji-man-gwen-chan-a' is completely different from Park's more popular films. He took an original concept and has made a poetic film that has heart and magic.

dragokin I remember randomly choosing this movie in a fantasy-horror festival shortly after it's release. After watching i haven't been able to shake of the feeling that it broke the mold of the festival.Although described as romantic comedy I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK is more than that. Yes, there is romance and comedy and yes, there's fantasy and horror elements. I thought i've sensed even some influence from Kusturica, as well, but i might have been wrong. What makes exceptional is that melds the action of SF-action-movies, some gore and art-house.What stayed in my mind has been the depiction of main protagonist's descending into madness. It's been the finest of it's kind in contemporary cinema.

Jonny_B_Lately First, I want to readily acknowledge that long-time fans of director Park's works hated this film. It was nothing like "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance," "Oldboy," or "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" and that is understandable. This is a very different film. But it is clear from box- office receipts that this was a flop as far as Park's country-men were concerned; they hated it too.WARNING: SPOILERS PRESENT! Young-goon (played by Lim Su-jeong) has lost her sanity. While assembling a radio in a factory she imagines that the assembly instructions coming from loudspeakers are telling her to open her wrist, insert house current wires, and plug herself into an outlet so she can recharge. She thinks she's a cyborg and her mission in "life" is to avenge her grandmother's commitment to an asylum for Alzheimer's victims. Once committed to her own asylum she refuses to eat. The staff do not understand this, but from Young-goon's perspective it makes perfect sense; she has to recharge not eat. After all she often tells the staff "I'm not a psycho: I'm a cyborg."Naturally this is a delusion, but a very complete one and since she's convinced that she is a cyborg she feels no obligation to explain her reasoning to the staff, instead preferring to converse with vending machines, radios, and light fixtures. Il-soon (played by Rain), another inmate, is a known theft of quirks, attributes, and ailments. He is often asked by other inmates to steal their insecurities or the very social quirks that got them committed in the first place. Apparently he is very effective as the inmates that have asked for his help improve mentally. Young-soon learns of this and convinces him to steal her "sympathy" (a cyborg sin) so she can effectively gun down the staff of the asylum.Of course Young-soon's "hunger-strike" is killing her and fellow inmate, Il-soon, manages to convince her that he has created a "rice megatron" that converts eaten rice directly into electricity. Once he "installs" this in her back she feels free to eat and her health improves.Of course the staff is grateful, but they don't really understand what he did or how he did it.The story is told with such care and humility that you can't help but love the characters, feel complete sympathy for them, and relate fully with them even though they are clearly not in full possession of their mental faculties. Park has deftly treated the subject of mental aberration with care.As should be expected of a Park film, the delusions of violence against the staff are blood drenched gore. After all, Young-soon as a cyborg, once her sympathy is stolen, she is a highly effective killing machine.As a love story it is very different. It is not about sex; it is, instead, a story of care and compassion for one's fellow human being.I predict that in the coming decades this will be seen as Park Chan- wook's finest film. Much like Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" was widely panned when released, but is now one of the few films he is remembered for.

zetes With this I've seen all of Chan-wook Park's films from the 2000s. He's one of my very favorite filmmakers from the last decade. I'm a Cyborg, but That's Okay is easily the least of them. The big problem, for me, anyway, is that it represents a genre of films that I really don't care for, that is, the mental hospital picture. Popularized by One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, it's the kind of film about a bunch of overly quirky patients who do crazy things. This one is also a romantic comedy, so that kind of makes it even worse. Fortunately, Park's unique sensibilities make this film at least somewhat worth watching. Su-jeong Lim plays a girl who was raised as a mouse by her grandmother. As a young adult, she started to believe she was a cyborg who as built to rescue her grandmother, who was taken away by the "white 'uns" (i.e., mental health professionals). She gets herself admitted and hopes to one day kill all of the white 'uns, but her own sympathy is keeping her back (after all, the white 'uns have grandmothers, too). Another patient (Rain, who starred in last year's action flick Ninja Assassin), is a kleptomaniac and Lim asks him to steal her sympathy so she can go through with the murder and mayhem. Just describing it makes me wonder how I liked it at all, but, trust me, Park's musical rhythms and candy-colored visuals are pretty delightful. Lim in particular is fantastic, but the whole cast shines. If you can get past the genre clichés, it's worth a watch.
